Built on 25 Years of Exterior Surface Construction

Justin Tew founded Seaside Surface Solutions to bring one product to the coast — the one that finally gets it right.

Our Founder

Meet Justin Tew

Justin Tew has spent 25 years building exterior surfaces — concrete driveways, paver installations, and asphalt work on residential properties throughout coastal South Carolina.

Over those 25 years, he built something most surface contractors don’t have: a working knowledge of this specific region. The soil conditions. The drainage patterns. The way salt air and humidity interact with materials that were designed for inland environments.

And over those same 25 years, he watched traditional surfaces fail. Concrete stained. Pavers shifted. Asphalt softened. The environment was never the problem — the material was.

When Justin encountered resin-bound surfacing, the decision to change direction was straightforward. He had spent decades diagnosing why conventional materials underperform on the coast.

Seaside Surface Solutions is the result of that decision. One product. One region. One standard of installation.

Justin personally supervises every project, conducts every site evaluation, and backs every installation with a 20-year product warranty.

Who we are

About Seaside Surface Solutions

Seaside Surface Solutions is a specialist resin-bound surfacing company based in coastal South Carolina. We work exclusively on high-value residential properties — driveways, pool decks, patios, and outdoor living surfaces — across the coastal corridor from Charleston to Hilton Head.

We do not offer multiple surfacing types. Resin-bound is the only system we install, and that focus is deliberate. Coastal properties require a different approach to base preparation, drainage, and site assessment than what works fifteen miles inland.

Every consultation is private. Every recommendation is site-specific. Every project is managed personally from start to finish.

The Marerial

The Product We Chose

We install a UV-resistant aliphatic resin-bound system — a two-part formulation that bonds natural aggregate into a hard, permeable, and exceptionally durable surface. Solvent-free, low in VOC, and fully compliant with Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) standards.

Why it performs where other surfaces don’t:

UV-STABLE

Aliphatic resin does not yellow, fade, or degrade under prolonged UV exposure.

Permeable

Water passes through at up to one gallon per square foot per second — managing stormwater the way coastal properties need surfaces to.

Slip-Resistant

Safe in wet and dry conditions, tested to international standards. Essential on pool surrounds and coastal pathways.

Low Maintenance

No weeds without chemical treatment. No resealing. No replacement.

Our Process

How We Install

Every project starts with a site evaluation — not a quote. We assess the substrate condition, drainage performance, and coastal conditions of your property before any material decisions are made.

OVERLAY INSTALLATION

Where existing concrete is structurally sound, we apply the resin-bound system directly over it. No demolition. Same quality finish. Less disruption and cost where the ground allows it.

GROUND-UP INSTALLATION

Where the existing surface is compromised, we excavate and rebuild from the ground up — with full sub-base preparation engineered for coastal drainage. On barrier island properties, getting the base right is what separates a 20-year surface from one that fails in five.

Why Trust Us

Our Standards

Certified Resin-Bound Installation Specialist

Trained in and accountable to the methodology the system requires.

Licensed and Insured — South Carolina

Fully licensed and insured for all residential exterior surfacing work.

ADA Compliant Surfaces

All installations meet ADA accessibility standards where applicable.

ISO 9001 Quality-Controlled Material

The resin system is manufactured under UKAS-certified ISO 9001 standards — same framework used by aerospace and medical industries.

20-Year Product Warranty

Backed on every installation — a reflection of correct installation, not just materials.

Permeable surfacing that manages stormwater and meets federal Clean Water Act requirements.

Two clearly defined service pathways matched to the specific condition of your property.

Start With a Conversation

Every project begins with a site visit, not a phone quote. Justin visits the property, assesses the existing conditions, and outlines the right approach before any commitment is made.

There are no standard packages. Each property is evaluated on its own terms — and the recommendation you receive is specific to your site, your ground, and the finish standard your property warrants.
